IE PNG Fix v1.0 RC4
You know that one browser that has only a vague association with modern web standards? Yeah, Internet Explorer. Wouldn't it be great if it supported stuff like translucent PNGs?
Well, now you can add decent PNG support to IE5.5+ on Windows with no changes to your website HTML source code. This script will add near-native PNG support with full alpha opacity, with only one line in your CSS file, that applies to all <img> tags and also background images!

Preview Release: Download the latest development code (v1.0 RC5 Preview 5, updated 26 January 2008) at the Test Area.
Compatibility
This uses CSS "behaviors", a custom Microsoft extension to CSS. As such, it will not affect any other browsers like Mozilla and Opera which already implement good PNG support. It will also not help IE4.0 and IE5.0, which don't include the necessary IE filter, and does nothing with IE5/Mac (which natively supports translucent PNG foreground images, however).
Archived Versions
This is the first public release of this script.
